What problem does it solve?
Web browsing and data extraction are often manual, slow, and non-reproducible. The websh Skill solves this by turning the web into a Unix-like shell where URLs are navigable paths and content is queryable via commands.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Async navigation: navigate to URLs with cd and see instant prompts while content is fetched in background.
- Rich data caching: HTML is cached and progressively extracted into markdown for fast grep and grep-like searches.
- Automation & discovery: supports ls, cat, grep, find, locate, and mounting APIs to automate workflows and content discovery.
Use Case: Build a reproducible workflow to fetch data from multiple sites, extract structured data, and save to local cache or export.
Quick Start
Start by launching websh, then run: "cd https://news.ycombinator.com" to explore Hacker News, then "ls" to see links, "grep 'AI'" to filter, "follow 1" to click a link, and "stat" to view page metadata.
